Begin your history trip by visiting Aspendos, the ancient city. It is situated on the banks of the River Köprüçay 50 km east of Antalya (former Euromydon name). Aspendos, its cultural and economic hub, was one of the most important cities in Pamphylia. Currently, the Roman amphitheatre designed by the builder Zenon under Marcus Aurelius ' rule in A.D. in 155 was a very popular tourist spot. The Aspendos Theatre is one of the world's best-preserved theatre examples. Go up and enjoy the elegance of their galleries and decorate the stage in the tiered sitting areas. The amphitheatre is still in use for major cultural events and festivals, with a capacity of up to 15 000 spectators. The Aspendos International Opera and Ballet Festival takes place each season. On the scene of ancient theatre between May and November, the world-famous Turkish dance group Fire of Anatolia presents a new program called Aspendos Efsanesi (the legend of Aspendos). Don't miss the chance to visit this majestic amphitheatre and enjoy the beauty and unquestioning historical value there.
